Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Cidade e As Serras
Seu avo, aquelle gordissimo e riquissimo Jacintho a quem chamavam em Lisboa o D. Galiao, descendo uma tarde pela travessa da Trabuqueta, rente d'um muro de quintal que uma parreira toldava, escorregou n'uma casca de laranja e desabou no lagedo. Da portinha da horta sahia n'esse momento um homem moreno, escanhoado, 'de grosso casaco de bae tao verde e botas altas de picador, que, ga ihofando e com uma forca facil, levantou o enorme Jacintho - ate lhe apanhou a bengala de castao d'ouro que rolara para o lixo. De pois, demorando n'elle. Os olhos pestanudos e pretos. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
